Origin: Portuguese

Meaning: Evening, evening star

Meaning “evening” or “evening star” in Greek, it’s no wonder poetic Hespero found its home in Spanish and Portuguese. This masculine name derives from Hesperos and Hesperus, the name given to the Greek god of dusk. With his half-brother Eosphorus, the “dawn-bringer,” Hesperus was part of the natural order of each passing day. Hespero is an ideal title for a light-bearer like your little star.
